Kyle Busch is apparently expecting retaliation from Brad Keselowski for wrecking him in the
Nationwide Series race last week at Kansas.

“Probably for Brad being who Brad is, I guess I should be worried because he’s stupid enough to
do something,” Busch said yesterday. “In all reality, to myself, I don’t know, I guess I had more
respect for drivers than that.”

Busch and Keselowski were racing side by side in the closing laps last Saturday at Kansas when
Busch got into Keselowski’s left rear. The contact sent Keselowski’s car into the outside wall, and
Keselowski angrily jumped out, jogged over the grass toward pit road and gestured wildly at Busch’s
crew.

He then jogged to the infield care center. Keselowski later accused Busch of being a dirty
driver — “That’s as dirty as it gets — when someone wrecks you down the straightaway, that’s as
dirty as it gets. I got wrecked by a dirty driver.” — and hinted he can retaliate because he’s not
racing for the Sprint Cup championship.

Busch, who had gone into the Sprint Cup race at Kansas on Sunday ranked third in the standings
but is now fifth, can’t afford any on-track incidents with Keselowski tonight in Concord, N.C. He
indicated he’s not concerned about payback.

“If he pays it back, he pays it back, and that will just bring on a heck of a lot more
fireworks,” Busch said.

Busch beats contenders in Nationwide victory

Busch raced to his 11th Nationwide Series victory of the year, giving him a season sweep at
Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Busch edged Nationwide series title contenders Austin Dillon and Sam Hornish Jr. to win for the
eighth time in the series at Charlotte.

Cody Coughlin, 17, wins oval-racing championship

Just by showing up to race at Winchester (Ind.) Speedway, Cody Coughlin, 17, claimed the season
championship in the 2013 JEGS/CRA All-Star Tour for late-model stock cars.

He comes from a family that made its name in the drag-racing world, but he chose the oval-racing
route and last night claimed the first major title of his career.

“Probably the most exciting thing for me in winning this title is when I show up for a race now,
people are going to say, ‘Oh, he’s going to be fast, he’s going to be good because he’s won a
championship,’ and not just looking at me as a kid who’s got a great sponsor who can go racing
whenever he wants,” Coughlin said.

He became the first member of the third generation of Coughlins to win such a title.

F1 test driver’s death linked to 2012 accident

Maria de Villota, a pioneering Formula One test driver who lost an eye and nearly died in a
crash last year, was found dead yesterday in a hotel room in Seville, Spain. She was 33.

The autopsy showed “neurological damage” from that wreck likely caused her death, sister Isabel
said. She added that her sister died in her sleep about 6 a.m. Spanish police said her death was of
“natural causes” and there was no indication of foul play.
